Thanks for your feed back however as this is my third unit over the past 14 years its very clear I am on the wrong site asking technical questions, The Valentine one if you set it up right works very well .

Thanks again for all the replys .

Thanks bad company and I fully understand regarding the Valentine One if you just plug the unit in without setting it up you will get many false alarms this is because you need to turn some bands off and switch filters on . But program the unit with what your requirements are and the V1 works very well .
This is the third V1 I have had used over about 14 years and it works well the only problem I have had is its not waterproof for use on a motor bike .

Yes your 100% right however it wont get a lock on the bike due to a transponder fitted to the front and rear of the bike preventing any incoming any laser from getting a lock .

In the UK the only problem we have is Average Speed Cameras and Truvelo cameras. Average Speed Cameras use IR photography and road distance to calculate your speed, and Truvelo cameras use sensors in the road to measure your speed most are set up for front pictures and motor bikes dont have a front number plate .

As for the V1 settings in the UK as far as I know Ka , Ku is used a little and X band are not used in the UK and Gatsos fixed road side cameras use K band . This is why you need to go into the main menu and turn many of the modes off other wise yes you will get false alarms, from devices such as traffic lights supermarket doors, mobile phones and transmitters often operate on the X band.

This is why I did hope someone could give me the settings and save me all the fun and games searching for the right settings .

Thanks thanks Smack + Geekman , Yes I thought there were other users out there in the uk well this is my third unit all the others I bought from the UK this one I did a upgrade while I was in the states on holiday .Yes from speaking to many people regarding programming they all said best to get the WiFi box if I had known I would have bought one in the states I have seen them for sale over in Germany for about £50 I would buy straight from Valentine but the customs duty on all good from the states is about 25% but I will keep checking Ebay as might get lucky , From what I can see K band is the only active band you need turn on .Yes if you get gunned with a Laser you have very little time except if you have a laser jammer fitted which will stop the gun from getting a lock on you however if they are unable to get a lock your reg number does go onto a data base and this happens more than 3 times your get a visit to your home where your vehicle will be checked and if they find a jammer fitted your end of in court .Yes I have found many cars set off the V1 but they have fitted better filters on the new upgrade to stop this from happening it would seem to be from Audi from what I can see .

Thanks again for the info the only problem I have with the V1 is its not waterproof and your a bit limited to were you can fit it on the bike .
